Hello all. I got some cash from family while visiting for the holidays and was thinking about getting one of the PS Plus plans but wanted to ask some advice here.

They say they are all currently on sale but I know everything seems to always be perpetually on sale at the PS store so I wanted to check and see if right now was the best time to buy or wait?

Also, is it really worth the difference between the Extra and the Premium?

Thanks in advance.

    If it’s streaming… There’s no download.

    The game runs on Sony servers. There’s a few seconds/minute delay when you launch tho.

    I’ve tried it for games where input lag wouldn’t be an issue, and it was fine. I could probably play a shooter streaming but never tried.

    I have good internet tho

      Ha okay duh.

      Well that gives me something else to think about. I have a fast internet setup as well. That might be worth it then just to have (almost endless) access to whatever.

      Thanks guys for the info.

        I’d recommend looking through the Premium catalog first. The vast majority of great games are available via Extra. If you never owned a PS3 it may be worth streaming, but otherwise I don’t personally see the benefit in going with Premium over Extra. Getting extra imo is a no brainer.
